Oakland A's top prospect Jacob Wilson lands on the IL.
Oakland A's top prospect Jacob Wilson was placed on the IL by the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators on Saturday after missing the previous two games with an undisclosed injury. According toWilson was originally removed from Wednesday's game after taking the field in the top of the first, but was replaced at shortstop by Logan Davidson in the bottom half of the inning.
The shortstop's biggest calling card coming out of college was his bat-to-ball ability, and so far in the minor leagues he has kept his strikeout rate below 11% at every stop. Obviously that's really impressive, but what makes it truly stand out is that he hasn't had time to adjust to any one level before finding himself further up the organizational ladder.
The most games he's played at any stop so far is the 23 he racked up with High-A Lansing last year, collecting 99 plate appearances in the process. That is less than a month's worth of playing time, and that's the longest period of time he has spent at any stop on his way to the big leagues. With Allen struggling , Darell Hernaiz injured, and Max Muncy potentially sliding over to third, there is a chance that Wilson could make it to Oakland this year and cement himself as the team's shortstop heading into the 2025 season. This is of course assuming that he comes back from his injury before too long, and continues to put up ridiculous numbers in Triple-A.Jason is the host of the Locked on A's podcast, and the managing editor of Inside the A's.
